In this Configure Cisco ASAv on GNS3 for Hands-on Labs, we delve into getting the most popular Cisco virtualised firewall ASAv in GNS3 step by step.

GNS3 labs must be rich and cover contexts of networking which gives great hands-on experience for the student and professional alike. Imagine being able to configure site-to-site vpns between your ASAv and a Cloud Instance, and being able to perform a myriad of tasks in order to understand how the real world expectation might be between the chosen technologies?

The beauty of scalability that comes with virtualised appliances in network design architectures to prove a concept or test and troubleshoot scenarios?

With the Cisco® Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv), you have the flexibility to choose the performance you need for your business. ASAv is the virtualized option of our popular ASA solution and offers security in traditional physical data centers and private and public clouds. Its scalable VPN capability provides access for employees, partners, and suppliers—and protects your workloads against increasingly complex threats with world-class security controls.

Create the initial master template for your ASAv

Download the ASAv qcow2 file with the OS version of your choice from Cisco.com.
Open GNS3 and click on File > + New Template >

Select Firewalls from the GNS3 Appliances List

Install the Appliance on GNS3 VM as Recommended

Choose “Default” for the VM type and hit next. Name the VM (ASAV 9.8.1 for example) and hit next. Select the x86_64 Qemu binary and set the RAM to 2048mb. Hit next.

Select ASAv Version and Install and Click Next

GNS3 would locally locate the downloaded *qcow2 appliance and populate the list for you to make a choice. Select your ASAv version and click Next.

Click Next and Continue

It is a good idea to trial your idea with a single ASAv and once this has worked out well, apply it to the master template as the gold image for future replica ASAv firewalls.

Create a new GNS3 Project

Drag ASAv into Workspace

Right click on ASAv and change the symbol (this is an optional step)

Select Symbol for your ASAv,change the category to Security Devices, and set the console type to vnc. We will change this to telnet later in the guide as we apply this to our master ASAv appliance.

Select vnc from the drop down to set console type to vnc

Uncheck Use as linked base VM(This is recommended initially until you’ve got it all working as should)

(It is recommended to perform all the necessary configurations before enabling this option which will make newer instances inherit the global settings. We shall do it as the final step once we get each bit done.)

Configure Cisco ASAv on GNS3 for Hands-on Labs

Start the ASAv and Click open with Console

Configure Terminal

Set Telness Access: Follow steps below

copy coredump.cfg from the coredumpinfo directory to disk0:/

Verify you work (always check if what you did worked)

Once the above steps are completed, go ahead and configure the master template. Now that we are happy that the telnet access works,

Set Console Type to Telnet

Now that you have set the use_ttyS0 on the ASAv, go ahead and power the ASAv off.

You must power the ASAv off to do this. You can change it with the device powered on, but you would encounter the error “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it”.

Click the Advanced settings tab. Uncheck the “Use as a linked base VM” box. We will check this later in the guide. Click OK then Apply > OK to save the device. This device will be configured as the “master template” for the ASAv.
